Report Of Probe Against Cash Pile Judge, His Response To Be Made Public: Supreme Court

New Delhi:

A report submitted by the Delhi High Court Chief Justice into allegations that a huge pile of cash was found at the house of a judge of the high court is being uploaded on the Supreme Court website.

The response by Delhi High Court judge Justice Yashwant Varma, at whose house in the national capital the cash stash was allegedly found, will also be uploaded on the website, the Supreme Court said in a press note today.

“The report submitted by the Chief Justice of the High Court of Delhi, response of Justice Yashwant Varma, and other documents are being uploaded on the Supreme Court website,” the top court said.

Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna consulted collegium members Justice BR Gavai, Justice Surya Kant, Justice AS Oka, and Justice Vikram Nath on making the documents public, and they all agreed on it for transparency and to end misinformation being spread about the matter, sources said.

The allegation that a huge pile of cash was found at Justice Varma’s house surfaced soon after a fire incident at his property. Firefighters reached there and controlled the blaze, and that was when they allegedly saw the cash pile. The amount allegedly discovered by the firefighters is not known.
